Junior Uncle is too cunning.

With a loud boom, a bolt of yellow-red lightning, as thick as a person's waist, descended from the dark clouds in the sky and struck Chen Fusheng on the ground.

“Earth, Fire, Divine Thunder,” Li Shundao recognized it at a glance.

The Five Elements Thunder Tribulation is actually divided into two stages. The first stage is the single Five Elements Thunder Tribulation that Chen Fusheng just went through.

The next four tribulations are called composite tribulations, which are divided into two-color tribulations, three-color tribulations, four-color tribulations, and finally, five-color and five-element tribulations.

Two-colored lightning tribulations are like the earth-fire lightning tribulations that Chen Fusheng just experienced, as well as earth-wood, earth-metal, and so on. Any combination of two of the five elements can form a two-colored lightning tribulation.

The same applies to the three-colored lightning tribulation and the four-colored lightning tribulation, except that they are combined with one or two more of the five elements. The most powerful one is the ninth five-element lightning tribulation, which is a true life-or-death ordeal.

"Pah!" Chen Fusheng crawled out of the pile of dirt, shook the dust off his head, and felt a little scared.

He originally took the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation very seriously, but he easily overcame the previous single-element divine thunder tribulations, except for the metal and fire divine thunder.

What pleased him most was that, through the tempering of the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, his physical body had actually been strengthened slightly. This was the first time in hundreds of years since his physical body had reached the superior grade.

However, his joy turned to sorrow, as he never expected that the two-colored divine lightning would teach him a great lesson.

The intensity of the lightning tribulation was more than ten times stronger than the previous single lightning tribulation, and the feeling of it hitting the body was like being flattened by a thick clod of earth and roasted directly on a raging fire.

If it weren't for Luo Baojinqian sensing the danger and blocking most of the damage, plus the extra layers of spiritual clothing he was wearing, he would have been roasted meat by now.

Even so, it was thanks to his superior physical strength that he could still smell a faint aroma of meat.

He threw the fragments of several high-grade spirit garments on the ground, leaving him with only two top-grade spirit garments.

He then took out the remaining four high-grade spirit robes from his storage ring and put them on, restoring his six-piece set. He wasn't like Li Shundao, who went to undergo tribulation with only three high-grade spirit robes. If it weren't for the Treasure-Dropping Coin and the Nameless Cauldron, he probably would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Although Chen Fusheng made the decision to undergo the tribulation hastily, he had been preparing for it ever since he became an immortal.

To this end, he crafted three top-grade acquired spiritual treasures. Besides giving one to Ling Yu, the other two were defensive spiritual garments. Including the Immortal-Slaying Spear and the wine gourd, he had a total of four top-grade acquired spiritual treasures.

As for high-grade acquired spiritual garments, he has refined quite a few over the past few hundred years. However, after deducting the ones given to Li Shundao and the ones he lost himself, he still has ten left. He has basically used up all the refining materials he has.

Before the seventh tribulation lightning bolt descended, Chen Fusheng quickly tidied up his preparations.

Aside from the four broken and unusable high-grade spirit garments, the wine gourd had just directly blocked a Five Elements Fire God Lightning and half a Water God Lightning, and was still spinning continuously. It seemed to have overeaten and was no longer usable.

The Immortal-Slaying Spear blocked the Five Elements Golden Divine Lightning on its own. As for the Treasure-Dropping Coin (imitation) given by Li Shundao, it was neither a defensive nor an offensive spiritual treasure, and it couldn't be taken away by the lightning tribulation. It only blocked the remaining half of the Five Elements Water Divine Lightning in the wine gourd and is now in a dormant state.

As for the Five Elements Earth Divine Lightning, as the first divine lightning to fall, it was used as a test subject by Chen Fusheng. He relied entirely on his spiritual armor and his strong physical body to withstand it. In doing so, he also damaged two high-grade spiritual armors. This was all thanks to the strong defense of two top-grade acquired spiritual armors.

The Five Elements Wood Divine Lightning was easily intercepted by the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Coin. With the addition of the two-colored divine lightning from earlier, the Treasure-Dropping Coin was also nearing its limit. However, Da Bao had not yet managed to return it to its original position, so it seemed it could hold out for a while longer.

So far, the only two innate spiritual treasures he hasn't used are the Azure Lotus Sword (a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure) and the Nameless Cauldron.

There are still three lightning tribulations left, including the strongest ninth one. The task is quite heavy!

Although he believed the Nameless Cauldron would ultimately withstand all the lightning tribulations, he still had some lingering worries. After all, a wife without a formal commitment was merely a girlfriend. (Although sometimes even a committed wife could become an ex-wife, she was still someone he had once possessed.)

Chen Fusheng put away the wine gourd, the Immortal-Slaying Spear, and the Falling Treasure Coin (imitation), which he could no longer carry.

Li Shundao knew that the longer the tribulation went, the more time it would take. Seeing Chen Fusheng pass the sixth two-colored tribulation, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Only then did he have the time to spare to observe his surroundings. There were now fifteen Golden Immortals present, plus Li Shundao himself, making sixteen in total. Together, they would serve as the recorders for Chen Fusheng's breakthrough to Golden Immortal, which was quite acceptable.

As for those below the Golden Immortal level, besides Ma Yuan, there are now fifty or sixty more Mystic Immortals standing with him, staring nervously, seemingly more concerned than Li Shundao.

As for the true immortals and celestial beings thousands of kilometers away, they were too far away for him to bother looking at.

With a thunderous roar, a bolt of divine lightning, mixed with yellow, red, and green, descended from the clouds and entered the large hole that had already been blasted out, instantly expanding the hole even further.

"It's here," Chen Fusheng thought to himself as he watched the light flash by.

He moved very quickly, first placing the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Falling Coin, on top, carrying as much as he could. Then he handed it over to the mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Azure Lotus Sword, which was placed below him.

Although the Azure Lotus Sword is not a defensive innate spiritual treasure, it should be able to withstand a lightning tribulation without any problem.

The colors red, yellow, and green swirled in Chen Fusheng's eyes, growing brighter and brighter as they drew closer.

"Go on," Chen Fusheng said, not wanting to stand there and take the beating. He was mainly worried about hurting others, so he threw the Treasure-Dropping Coin at the lightning tribulation first. (Treasure-Dropping Coin: You could have just said it was you, why drag others into this? So hypocritical.)

The winged treasure-dropping coin grew larger and larger, its outer ring became more and more rounded, and the square in the center expanded several times over, until it finally became as wide as the lightning tribulation.

The center of the Luobao Coin was empty, and Chen Fusheng could see the lightning tribulation when he looked up, as if it could pass through the middle and hit his head at any moment.

Finally, the falling treasure and the lightning tribulation came into contact. There was no sound or blinding light, only the image of the lightning tribulation striking the square gun and disappearing into thin air, like a train continuously moving into a tunnel and finally being swallowed up.

The seventh tribulation of three colors of lightning was finally resolved by the Falling Treasure Coin, and the sky cleared up. Da Bao, carrying the copper coin, wobbled and entered Chen Fusheng's body.

"There are only two left," Li Shundao almost jumped for joy, feeling even more excited and happy than he was.

Not only was Li Shundao excited, but even the Golden Immortals who had been watching were now on high alert. The first five were just the foundation, and passing the sixth might have been a matter of luck, but now they had even passed the seventh.

Only then did they truly take it seriously. If they could survive the eighth and ninth tribulations, the person undergoing the tribulation would truly become one of their kind.

The eighth wave arrived earlier than expected. A streak of red, yellow, blue, and green flashed across the sky, like a shooting star with flames, quickly filling the large pit.

Chen Fusheng, who had not been seriously injured in the seventh stage, had just recovered and was holding the Azure Lotus Sword upright, like a lightning rod stuck in the ground.

A series of crackling red, yellow, blue, and green arcs of electricity flashed, and with a "snap," Chen Fusheng collapsed to the ground, his Qinglian sword still occasionally emitting sparks, followed by a convulsion.

"Bang~"

"Bang bang~"

"Bang bang bang~"

A fragment of the spirit garment flew out and stuck directly into the cave ceiling. Then, thousands upon thousands of fragments, like shards of glass, shot out from Chen Fusheng's body, filling the cave and burying him completely in the splattered dirt.
